Using the given table:
a) the average rate of change is 32.5 jobs/year.
b) the average rate of change is 12.5 jobs/year.
<h3>
How to find the average rate of change?</h3>
For a function f(x), the average rate of change on an interval [a, b] is:

a) The average rate of change between 1997 and 1999 is:

So the average rate of change is 32.5 jobs/year.
b) Now the interval is 1999 to 2001.
The rate this time is:

So the average rate of change is 12.5 jobs/year.

Answer:
I don't really know but one triangle is 180 degrees so two added together is 360 degrees...
but ohh I remembered
a=c+d (since a+b=180 and c+d+b=180)
e=g+h (since e+f=180 and g+h+f= 180)
and the fact is that c+d+g+h+b+f=the angle sum of quadrilateral PQRS
a+e+b+f= the angle sum of quadrilateral PQRS (by substitutions)
a+e+b+f=360 (four angles are from one origin so it's 360 degrees )
I beleive 144=2 is the answer.
If you have to divide that to get 1 number it would be 72.
